Episode 9 - Rogues, Rebels And Robots: Later, aboard the Death Star, Vader is heard torturing the princess, using hypnotic drugs to make her talk (this is, essentially, an extension of the "torture droid" scene from the movie, detailing what happens after the door closes). His interrogation fails, and he summons a medic to tend to Leia prior to further questioning.

About Star Wars Radio: Star Wars was a thirteen-part expanded radio adaptation of the original Star Wars film, produced in 1981 and broadcast by National Public Radio as part of NPR Playhouse. The series was made with the full cooperation of George Lucas, who donated the rights and allowed the use of sound effects and music from the films. A New Hope follows a narrative much more closely aligned with the original film on which it is based. There are some small segments of action or dialogue which may be highlighted as treatments of Expanded Universe material, but the overall narrative does not diverge substantially from the original plot.
